Recently tested, now already in the final: Opel Grandland X amongst “Best Buy Cars of Europe” according to jury
Convincing qualities: New Opel compact SUV impresses with design, leading technologies and functionality
Success story: Opel multiple award winner in prestigious international competition
European AUTOBEST 2018 Finalist: New Opel Grandland X has impressed the jury and been included in the final six.
Despite only having recently celebrated its world premiere at the
Frankfurt Motor Show and having just been tested by members of the
media, the new Opel Grandland X has surpassed many of its rivals and
been named one of the finalists for the European “AUTOBEST 2018”.
The jury of the prestigious international competition announced this
today. A jury consisting of journalists from 31 European countries tests
new models eligible for the coveted award. The winner is named “Best
Buy Car of Europe 2018”. By reaching the final, the dynamic Opel compact
SUV is one of six remaining strong contenders for the title. The
AUTOBEST jury evaluates the candidates in various categories such as
flexibility, design and new technologies along with the service network,
availability of parts and price.
The new Opel Grandland X
excels in many areas: Modern, athletic lines, cool off-road look along
with typical SUV qualities such as elevated seating position and good
all round visibility. Furthermore, the adventurous newcomer comes with
numerous leading technologies such as IntelliGrip electronic traction
control along with plenty of space and comfort for up to five
passengers.
All this is offered at an attractive price-performance ratio
and has helped the new challenger in the SUV segment qualify for the
AUTOBEST 2018 final. The decisive evaluation will take place during
numerous test drives along with further assessments on the test track in
Vairano (Italy). The winner – the “Best Buy Car of Europe” – will be
announced in mid-December.
Opel’s latest contender, the Grandland X, is following a good Opel
tradition. The Rüsselsheim-based carmaker has celebrated multiple
honours in various categories of the prestigious AUTOBEST awards in
recent years:
In 2007 and 2015, the Opel Corsa won the AUTOBEST award, enabling both generations of the small car all-rounder to carry the title of “Best Buy Car of Europe”.
In 2009, the first generation Opel Insignia wowed the jury with its styling and took the DESIGNBEST award.
Elsewhere, the Opel Ampera and the Opel Ampera-e demonstrated environmentally friendly mobility with both winning the ECOBEST award in 2011 and 2016 respectively.
Furthermore, the current Opel Astra generation won the 2015 SAFETYBEST award for its trendsetting IntelliLux LED Matrix headlights.
And as the Opel credo “Sculptural artistry meets German precision”
is valid for both the models as well as the entire company according to
the jury, Opel was presented with the COMPANYBEST award in 2016.
Attractive: Trendy crossover for climate-conscious customers
LPG benefits: Cheaper than gasoline, lower CO2 emissions
Unique: Opel Crossland X first LPG car with electronic tank multivalve
Attractive offer: The stylish and functional Opel Crossland X is now also available as an LPG version.
The stylish yet functional Opel Crossland X is now available with
the benefits of low fuelling costs and a tax concession for using LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas).
The urban crossover with SUV looks is also the first LPG vehicle with
an innovative electronic multivalve system that improves the low-fuel
driving experience compared with conventional LPG cars.
Opel Crossland X is powered by an especially efficient 60 kW/81 hp 1.2-litre LPG engine (New European Driving Cycle fuel consumption LPG: urban 8.4 l/100 km; extra-urban 6.0 l/100 km; combined 6.9 l/100 km, 111 grams CO2/km; gasoline: 6.8 l/100 km; extra-urban 4.5 l/100 km; combined 5.4 l/100 km, 123 grams CO2/km).
The economical three-cylinder comes with a five-speed manual
transmission. In bivalent mode this enables a range of up to 1,300 km
before refuelling is necessary (based on NEDC).
The LPG version of the Crossland X is produced at the Opel factory.
With hardened valves and valve seat-rings the engine is designed for the
highest durability. The electronic multivalve features an optical
sensor in the LPG tank, which makes measurement of the remaining fuel
much more precise, improving the low-fuel driving experience compared
with conventional LPG cars.
The 36-litre LPG tank is located in the spare-wheel well, so that
interior space is unaffected. An LED in the instrument panel shows when
the Opel Crossland X is in LPG mode; it goes out as soon as the mode switches
to gasoline. The driver can also see the remaining range according to
gasoline or LPG.
Tax concession for LPG extended until 2022
In comparison to gasoline, LPG users can save a lot of money at the
fuel pump. Long-distance drivers benefit especially. The German
government also gives a tax concession for LPG until 2022. Cars that run
on LPG, which consists of the gases butane and propane, have less
effect on the environment than conventionally fuelled automobiles
because they emit lower amounts of carbon dioxide. LPG is available
throughout Europe at around 25,000 petrol stations. Germany also has a
good LPG infrastructure with 6,200 fuel stations.
Generous driver assistance systems offer
The new Opel Crossland X offers numerous technologies that make
driving more comfortable and relaxing, including Full-LED headlights,
Head Up display, 180-degree Panorama Rear View Camera, and Driver
Drowsiness Detection. The Crossland X with LPG engine can be ordered in
Germany as an “Edition” model variant for €21,200 and as an “INNOVATION”
for €22,400 (RRP including VAT).
Best time: Up to twelve seconds per lap quicker than previous Opel Insignia OPC
In the best hands: Volker Strycek and team put finishing touches to GSi at the Ring
Best ingredients: Lightweight construction, mechatronic FlexRide chassis, all-wheel drive
Familiar territory: New Opel Insignia GSi shows what it is made of on the legendary Nordschleife of the Nürburgring.
The new Opel Insignia GSi is a precision instrument. Ten millimetres
closer to the road than a normal Insignia and at least 160 kilogrammes
lighter than a previous generation Insignia OPC. With intelligent
all-wheel drive, that sends a perfectly dosed amount of power to each
individual wheel thanks to torque vectoring. This improves handling even
further and annoying understeer is eliminated. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S
tyres on 20-inch rims ensure an outstanding level of grip while the
powerful Brembo brakes guarantee short braking distances and maximum
safety. Furthermore, the direct steering, adjustable shock absorbers
along with the engine and transmission control are interlinked and react
sharply when the Sport Mode is activated. Briefly, the GSi is an
automotive foil for aficionados of modern, highly efficient sports
limousines. A “Connoisseur’s Choice” edition with the “Tested on the
Nürburgring” seal of approval – because every sporty Opel is fine-tuned
on the legendary Nordschleife.
“The toughest place in the world to test a car to the max” (Volker Strycek)
On June 18, 1927, the original 28 kilometre long “mountain, racing
and test track” at the foot of the Nürburg was inaugurated. The founding
fathers attached great importance to the Nürburgring containing
sections with country road characteristics so that the booming
automotive industry could test its cars accordingly. The first race in
the Eifel was won by superstar Rudolf Caracciola, who later admitted
that he found the course “really tough”, in 1927. Three-time Formula 1
world champion Sir Jackie Stewart later gave the hilly course, which is
surrounded by forest, its legendary nickname – “The Green Hell”. Today,
one of the leading experts on the Nürburgring is Opel Director
Performance Cars and Motor Sport, Volker Strycek. In 2003, he won the
24-hour race in an Opel Astra V8 Coupé. More recently, Strycek and his
team developed the set-up of the Insignia GSi on the Nürburgring.
“The lightweight architecture, the excellent chassis configuration
with uprated damper hydraulics and software adjustment, the unique
all-wheel drive along with the performance tyres make the GSi as precise
and sharp as we wanted it to be,” said Strycek after his test drives.
“The results speak for themselves. I can complete a lap of the
Nordschleife in the new Insignia GSi up to twelve seconds faster than in
the more powerful OPC predecessor – but I obviously push the car every
inch of the way.
As soon as the course becomes more demanding such as in
the corners or stretches with low friction, i.e. when the car needs to
react in an especially agile and precise manner, the GSi is definitely
faster and easy to control.”
“This is precisely the efficiency I expect from a modern sports car.”
The Opel engineers have treated the GSi to a new chassis compared to
the new Insignia. Shorter springs lower the GSi by ten millimetres and
special sports shock absorbers reduce body movements to a minimum. The
powerful Brembo four-piston brakes (diameter 345 millimetre) and the
already direct steering were adapted accordingly. The Insignia GSi is
equipped as standard with the mechatronic FlexRide chassis. It adapts
shock absorbers and steering in fractions of a second; the control unit
also changes the calibration of the accelerator pedal and the shift
points of the eight-speed automatic. The driver can choose between
Standard, Tour and Sport modes. Subject to the chosen mode, steering and
throttle-response is then even more direct. Exclusive to the GSi is the
Competition mode, which is activated via the ESP button. A double-press
allows skilful drivers more yaw and switches off traction control – for
a fast lap of the Nordschleife, for example.
Nürburgring expert: Opel Director Performance Cars and Motorsport
Volker Strycek pushed the new Opel Insignia GSi to the limit on the
Nordschleife.
The sports-chassis, developed in combination with the extra grippy
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres and big 20-inch wheels, offers almost
limpet-like levels of adhesion. A major contribution comes from the
all-wheel drive with torque vectoring fitted as standard, which is
unique in this segment. In this high-tech system, a conventional
differential on the rear axle is replaced by two clutches, which can
accelerate each rear wheel individually in fractions of a second,
depending on the driving situation.
“The all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring is truly unique in
the Insignia segment. It banishes the tendency to understeer known from
more conventional systems,” said Strycek.
The sports sedan is powered by an impressive gasoline turbo engine
that combines fuel efficiency with performance. The powerful 2.0-litre
turbo produces 191 kW (260 hp) and develops generous torque of 400 Nm
(NEDC fuel consumption: 11.2 litres per 100 km urban; 7.1 l/100 km
extra-urban; 8.6 l/100 km combined; 197 g/km CO2). Alternatively, the
GSi is also available with the 154 kW/210 hp 2.0-litre BiTurbo diesel
(Official fuel consumption 2.0 BiTurbo in accordance with New European
Driving Cycle: urban 8.9 l/100 km, extra-urban 6.1 l/100 km, combined
7.3 l/100 km, official specific combined CO2 emissions 192
g/km) – a unit that is tailor-made for the Opel flagship and delivers
torque of 480 Nm. Both four-cylinder units are mated to an all-new
eight-speed automatic transmission. The driver has the option of
shifting gears via paddles at the steering wheel without taking his
hands off the steering wheel or his eyes off the road. In addition, the
shift points of the automatic transmission can be preselected via the
Standard and Sport modes.
The new Opel Insignia GSi is available as either a sports limousine
or an even more family friendly estate – then called the Opel Insignia
GSi Sports Tourer.
